The 1978 model year brought with it very meaningful updates. Of them the most substantial being bigger brakes, based on those from the 917, the introduction of an intercooler (which allowed for the compression ratio to be raised to 7.0:1) and a larger flat-six motor, now 3.3-liters producing 265bhp. Although little changed the following year, 1979 was the last year the 930 was offered in North America. Porsche felt the U.S. government’s strict new emissions standards which required a catalytic converter would rob the engine of meaningful power. The last of the 930s arrived in America in late December 1979. Of these fifty of the last cars had dash plaques to commemorate them.

One of the fastest, most raw and iconic-looking cars available in its day, the 930 has rightfully earned its place as a motoring legend. The experience behind the wheel of a car like this is sure to provide you the closest thing to a time machine, to an era without electronic aids like ABS and stability control. This 930 represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a stress-free and excellent driving collectable.
